Wonderful experience!, Great food and friendly staff!
Great atmosphere great food!
Pizza was relatively bland, decent pasta.
My parents just bought a cottage in Crystal Beach. We spent the weekend and couldn't wait to try San Vitos. The pizzas were just okay, the gentleman making them wasn't wearing a mask. I asked for a cream sauce on the pizza rather than the garlic butter that it came with, when we got the pizza home it had the garlic butter. The other pizzas we ordered were just mediocre, not worth the money. Based on first impressions I won't return.
My wife and I tried San Vito's last night and it was delicious. Everything was fantastic from the staff, the ambiance, the appetizers amd the food. Absolutely a MUST TRY! Great job to the owners and staff!!!
While their red sauce is perfect, we love their rose! Any menu item is excellent really, and good sized portions!
Great food , generous portions and great service
I'd give it 0 stars if that was possible. Order 2 pizza's, 1 margarita, and another with just pepperoni. Came to pick them up on time, and was so confused when I left that I thought they just gave me empty boxes. The pizza's were just slightly smaller than a Childs pizza from any restaurant. Have ordered before, and they were normal sizes for pizza's. The pizza's them selves must have been sitting out for about 20 minutes, and they were a room temperature by the time we go home (about a 3 min drive) Also expected more than 3 pieces of basil on the pizza. NEVER ORDERING HERE AGAIN, NOR SHOULD ANYONE ELSE!
Great food, great vibes, great location and cool music selection. I had to fettuccini Alfredo and the Lumina Pinot Grigio and it was amazing! I like the 50’s-60’s vibes and Amy, my server, was awesome. I’d definitely go back
Great food, great staff
Updating my review of San Vito's. We held a small birthday party for my wife with 12 guests. The food, drinks and staff were all excellent. ???? recommend!
Had some great experiences here throughout my trip. I went twice and brought some family along and they also loved it. I enjoyed that I could bring my dog into the patio and the service is solid. Best of all, some phenomenal tasting pizza. Definitely will be back!
Great food always homemade
The pizza was great!
Thoroughly enjoyed everything!! Apps, main course, wine selection and service was great!! Going to be a huge hit. Our town needed this charming little place !!
Amazing people who help strangers! They found me on social media after finding my ID in front of their business, and messaged me that they had it. I was so worried about not being able to find it, and now it's safely in the mail. Thank you!!! We will make sure to support your establishment once we return in the summertime. <3
Awesome food
I will be back.
Delicious meal in a cute beachfront restaurant. Don't skip dessert!
Excellent attention!! And delicious pizzas
Best pizza I've ever had, hands down. We took 3 different pizza's for takeout. It was unbelievable, I will be coming back for sure. I wish you have another location in GTA. I would go all the time, I'm a huge pizza guy and very picky. This place does it right, perfect thin crust, amazing pizza sauce that is tasty and loaded with high quality topics, I was surprised at the low price for the quality. Keep up the amazing pizza.
The food here was great. We ordered a fee different things off the menu ti share. It’s right on the little main strip of Crystal Beach, walking distance to the water, large patio and great service too.
Food is fantastic! Especially the seafood pasta! Although it tends to get quite loud.
You say you want pizza. Look no further than here. Amazing!
First visit. Enjoyed the food. Service was excellent.
Friendly service. Good portions, good value. Food not bad, considering cottage country. Only suggestion is for the restaurant to clean their gazebo and surrounding posts of cobwebs. We had a few spiders try to join us at the table.
We arrived without reservations - and had over a 45 minute wait & boy was it worth it! We were skeptical at first due to the hostess letting in a couple ahead of us. Our server saved the day with her bright energy & attention. Little did anyone know that today would have been my mum & dads 50th wedding anniversary - so it meant so much to my mum. (He died in March). The food was exceptional. We all said so & are avid foodies. Would highly recommend & can’t wait to come back.
Amazing pizza
Great Food & Great Service! I will definitely be going back.
Everything was better than expected. Seating, was prompt. Food was excellent. Our waitress was kind and quick. Best restaurant in Crystal Beach by far. Thank you so much for a great night out!
Awesome! Great ambiance, food, service. We'll be back. ????
It was very nice. The food was good.
The atmosphere was fun, cute place, Barb our server was a delight. All 4 meals and mussels were ok, need more flavour. I'm not sure I would ever serve fish on top of mash potatoes. We will be back but order more basic dishes like the pizza. Hope the chef can step it up.
So yummy - nice atmosphere and quality food ????
Excellent place. Pizza is delicious, espresso is ????????????, beautiful restaurant with kind and professional staff. Warm and welcoming.
Let me start by saying that we cannot recall placing ANY complaint with a restaurant in the last 10 years and it is not in our nature to complain nor write a poor review. It pains us to write this. We arrived for a 6pm reservation with my parents (seniors). We had been told we would be under the tent (to avoid sun) but were placed under an umbrella. Placed our drink orders and received our drinks and ordered our meals. (time 6:20). Had a chat while we waited when we started to notice that three other parties - including one who had arrived 10 minutes earlier - had already been served their meals. Finally just after 7pm we asked another waitress (ours had not been seen since taking the meal order) whether there was a problem. She indicated the kitchen had issues and she was sorry, offered a free beer to one of us. 15 minutes later still no food (7:20) and we were now out of water and conversation was becoming awkward as we were all hungry. Finally our waitress showed up with the meal. We firmly but politely told her that we were very disappointed and we had been there often and always had meals promptly. She told us that there was an issue with the kitchen, we replied that there had been no attempt to check in with us to keep us up to date or offer additional drinks. Meals arrived and were hot and tasty, no issues there. We believe our order had been forgotten but no one took responsibility for this or took the opportunity to make things right - or ask us how they could do so. Additional context for those with considerations in the current context: this restaurant is doing only the minimum required for safety. One server we saw was masked, a few put them on and off while we watched (recall we had little to do for well over an hour while we waited) but most servers we saw had no masks on. Customers arrived without masks and were escorted to tables inside without them; one man said he left his in the car and was not offered a disposable mask but simply escorted in as if the policy was unimportant. Some spacing was provided between tables but not to the extent of other restaurants we’ve been to. Menus are not single use; while not a requirement, apparently, it is another indication that this restaurant may not be a good choice if you have concerns. We will continue to patronize establishments that set the bar higher than required and are obviously making every effort. Further context: we gave this restaurant stellar reviews before this visit and supported them OFTEN during the last winter season. We recognized our server and were polite when sharing our disappointment tonight. But we were left feeling ignored and insignificant. Proper service training and policies could remedy this. Sadly, we are now those customers who left disappointed, who did not experience a service “wow”, and we will not be back. We complained and gave them a chance to make things right. They did not. Can not recommend based on this visit.
We came to book a reservation a few days earlier in person. The girl who took out reservation didn't ask the normal questions you would expect like THE NAME the reservation would be under or TIME. We had to tell her all this as she kept walking away. Decent tasting food, but a little pricy for the quality. But when options are limited for sit down places we decided to give it a shot. Food took awhile to come out and shortly after we were told we had to leave to flip the table. The time limits were not communicated prior to us eating and continuing to order. If you go inside you'll see a lot of the employees not masked or following covid protocols and just talking to each other while other customers are waiting to be served. Needless to say, probably will try somewhere else when in the area next.
The patio is really nice, the service was great and the food was very tasty at the time. We ordered the calamari, chicken parmesan and moose pizza (prosciutto and arugula). There’s only one issue that frustrates me with servers: When we got the moose pizza there was barely any prosciutto on it so we asked the server, Sarah, if it would be possible to get a bit more, she said no problem and didn’t mention anything about an additional cost. We thought she was being nice since the pizza barely had any. When we got the bill it was charged extra. Not a big deal because it was just $2.50 but it would of been nice to be told that it was an extra charge before she got it to at least give us the option if we were okay with that. After we paid she offered a refund but the price wasn’t the issue, it was that she didn’t tell us and just slapped it on the bill and didn’t even mention it when she brought the bill either.
Good food but noisy and pricey
Great new restaurant at Crystal Beach with great food options and excellent service. The daily specials bring new flavours to Italian classics. We so much needed a restaurant like this in our community!
The new BBQ cart on the patio side of Sam Vitos deserved a try for a quick bite. Get the basic hotdog and see how it goes. This is what was handed to me and I took the photo before eating. I leave it to you to judge......my sense is though, if you're going to do one thing, do it amazingly. All I could do was just sort of chuckle and think to myself, how you could possibly screw it up. I'll leave it at that.
Wake up, San Vito's! I don't know what happened. This place was amazing last year. Absolutely delicious food with great service, completely worth the (rather expensive) price tag. I was recommending it up and down to people. This summer, it's been one miss after another. Impossible to get reservations or takeout because they don't answer the phone. The food quality has taken a nosedive... got eggplant parmesan a few days ago and it was undercooked and rubbery. The pasta sauce didn't taste fresh, and the calamari appetizer gave my friend indigestion. Pizza was okay, but the sauce was also mediocre. We've had these exact dishes at this place many times last year and they were always great. I don't often write these reviews... I hope they read it and bring back the old delicious San Vito's!
The best pizza and I've had the veal parm the chicken parm everything was on point. ????% going back every week.lol good job guys been waiting for something positive in this neighbourhood. The mother day dinner was amazing ????
Completely blown away with how delicious this meal was! We started with a ceaser salad, homemade arancini and fried goats cheese with a honey and truffle sauce. The goat cheese was my favourite. We ordered the Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Parmesan for mains. The Demi glacé on the beef was incredible and paired with the perfectly seasoned mashed and crunchy yet soft green beans????????????. The homemade tomato sauce on the Chicken Parm was sweet yet complemented the lightly breaded and seasoned chicken. The pasta was cooked perfectly ???????????? Definitely a 10/10 for amazing service and food! Can’t wait to come back and try more!
Best sauce anywhere...plus delious food.
wonderful service and delicious food, nice atmosphere- except the tiramisu, needs improving
Good authentic Italian food here. The family and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality!
Had the most amazing dinner! Staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! 10/10 will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice meal!
Absolutely amazing. Foood was dynamite and staff was even better. Quick service for such a high end meal. Tonight was our family's first time and we will 100 percent be back.
Authentic Italian dining with real homemade dishes. My favourite gnocchi is soft and melts in your mouth. From the antipasto to the made in house desserts it's all fabulous.
This place is awesome!!
Made a reservation since it was a Friday evening (recommended on weekends) The food is good, had the chicken parm and it was very good. Nice atmosphere but the service was very slow (food took over an hour) and our waitress wasn't overly attentive as she basically abandoned us after we received our food. Nice place, they just need better organization and to improve the wait time to get your food.
Great spot! Good food, good service :)
Only 1 family sitting outside at the tables... about 10 free tables but my 2 young children and I were told we needed reservations.. we drove up at 340pm and asked if they were open and were told they open at 4pm but not that we'd need reservations. We walked elsewhere. On return the tables outside were not filled. Not sure why we were turned away but we won't be returning here.
Very nice atmosphere, great staff, kinda, I had to ask for bread 3 times and a bowl. For appatiser and mussels, food pretty tasty, good portions. All in all a good place with ok food, not a wow but good food and good value. Worth many more visits.
I was in the area hosting a bachelorette party and received take out for a dinner party of 8 people. The manager and chef were very helpful in assisting me with curating a wonderful dinner menu. The food we received was excellent! We enjoyed everything we ate including the fried goat cheese, arancini, gnocchi and the San Vito's Chicken, just to name a few. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Tried the pizza via takeout for the first time last week! Was very impressed. Very good sauce and toppings - but the crust was out of this world! Give it a try!
The fried goats cheese was delicious but the pizza was burnt black and when asked about they said that's the way it comes
Great place to eat. Pizza ???? Nice people!
Everything was amazing! From the food, to there service, to the atmosphere! We will back very soon for more! :)
Service and food were excellent.
Pizza SOOO delicious, radically priced, amazing atmosphere and wonderful staff!
Awesome pizza!!!
Unexpected surprise...atmosphere and food was fantastic..GREAT JOB!!!!
Celebrating my brother's retirement.
We came because it was highly recommended. Never again. The server never brought us cutlery. We had to ask someone else twice! We were also seated in the tent area which initially seemed nice, however it was covered in dead spiders and cobwebs. A good cleaning would have been appreciated before seating patrons. So disappointed.
Yummy food, nice patio, and Great serving staff! (Waitresses Sarah and Dana were super nice.) Only complaint was slightly slow service, but it didnt matter much overall.
Love Jesse & Mia...doing great job accommodating extra outdoor patrons....but for 3rd time....had to leave after being promptly seated with menus,and after 15 min. not seeing server or any acknowledge....nothing....we left! Looking at the overall it wasn't that busy, the servers just seem to be lacking in training to acknowledge customers that they will be right with them....small token that would have kept us there.
Great restaurant and atmosphere, it isn't McDonald's so don't go planing to get your food in 5 mins. I very nice establishment to have conversation and an enjoyable meal. Our server Maggie was amazing, the food was fabulous, and rest of the people where great! Best dinner out in a long time! Keep up the great work team!
Very nice atmosphere, good food. Very pleasant Courtney, our hostess for the day. I liked they carry local beer, from Brimstone, which I really enjoy when I visited.
Very busy. Delicious tender, haddock florentine. I would order it again.
Quaint! Classic Italian. Very good. Reservation recommended
Beautiful place and excellent food
Great food on the patio
Food was delish and service was awesome!
Great food, great atmosphere!
The food here was delicious and a great atmosphere
Great little spot... something for everyone on the menu... my wife had an amazing home made lasagna and I enjoyed a Carb free chicken parmesan... made with zucchini noodles... we'll definitely be going back...
First time visiting San Vito’s Ristorante. Superb food. The sauce is very tasty. Chicken Parm was fantastic and a large portion. The Head Chef Kevin came to our table to chat. He is an excellent chef and extremely dedicated to ensuring his customers are pleased with their meal. Our waitress Barb was so friendly and was attentive to all our needs. The atmosphere was serene with beautiful Italian music accompanying our meal. Prices are comparable to other restaurants.
I am not sure how this restaurant stays open. First day of our vacation we liked the patio and decided to stop for a drink. The server told us we can’t have only drinks and we have to order food if we want to come in. At this time we were the only customers and the place was completely empty. On the second day we stopped by and asked until what time the kitchen is open and they told us 10 pm. I called and 925 pm to place an order of few pizzas for take out. The server told us we can’t order because the kitchen is closed. We told the server we were told the kitchen would be open until 10 pm she told us they were slow and they closed the kitchen. This place needs to get its business in order if they want to remain open because this is definitely how you do it.
Finally an Italian restaurant that knows how to cook. Went last night with friends and meal service and cleanliness excellent. We will definitely be back.
Service from Barb was great. Our meals were fine but we were really disappointed to hear that bread is no longer served with the meal. Our server apologized and when we asked if bread was available for purchase she provided us with a complimentary basket.
Great menu and delicious foodAnd the red sauce is the best Sauce I've ever tasted
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and good service!
This was my first time at San Vito's but definitely won't be my last. The food was amazing and the atmosphere and service was top notch
Simply said!! Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere and location!!
Good food,had the seafood fettuccine loved it!!
Great experience, food and atmosphere. Our server was amazing, friendly and attentive. The food came really quickly and was hot and full of flavor. We have been there a few times and it is consistently great. Highly recommended.
Great food and great service!!! Will definately be back!!!
First and last time at San Vito's. Worst service ever!!
Good food! Veal piccata was tender and delicious. My husband had the gnocchi special outstanding ! Gorgonzola and mushroom sauce. Garlic bread with cheese and the best Tuscan onion soup I’ve had in 20 years! A must try !!
Love the food and the environment. Definitely go again!
Gnocchi Gorgonzola Soooo good :)
Food was excellent service was excellent nice atmosphere
Had San Vito's pizza & wings tonight. Excellent pizza & great wings. Loved both... Definitely order this again...
Great pizza
Great veal sandwich great service
Great Restaurant & Atmosphere We have been here a few times now. Every time the food and service are amazing!
I have ordered from here a few times. They had a really talented chef running things for awhile at the end of last year. He made really great food, especially his chocolate cheesecakes which he offered to us to try. My wife and I tried it again last week and the food was inedible. Also always seem to get the same older server who seems to hate her job.
Great restaurant, will be back ????
Horrible service, First visit heard bad comments around town but decided to try it. Waiteres has bad attitude. Order chicken parm, and got veal, told her and her was so, that's what the kitchen sent out. No apology and it wasn't edible. Never again
My review will change when you change that you don't deliver
Food and service was good, cosy place.
Food was good but service very slow (lack of staff)We had reservation for 8 but they could only accommodate table for 6. They have a very serious noise issue you can’t hear any conversations from the table due to poor acoustics. Like football stadium inside. The table of 8 were all locals and will not be back until noise levels are addressed. Snow shovel available would be useful to clear sidewalk in front of building.
Finally got to try san vitos yesterday and the food and service were both amazing. I will definitely come back again!
Food excellent, however, very noisy.
It is lovely place. We are sitying at a ckean spacious patio evrything is high variety and delicious. I am raw vegan and my husband is vegiterian. They modified and created new items to accomodate us. Delicious salad and all is great. Nina :) @Ninasoyfer ig
Great food!!
Good vibe. Very busy and the wait time is long so I’d make a reservation on a weekend. The bar is very spacious so even if you don’t get a table you can still eat comfortably. Chicken parm and antipasto are good.
Had a great dinner on the patio. Food was delicious!
Shared two meals between the two of us... stellar. Couldn't choose a favorite between the two. Great, friendly service and chalet like atmosphere. Will make a point to return. A restaurant of unexpected quality and worth the drive from Ohio!
Nice restaurant and friendly staff. Good atmosphere inside. Did not enjoy the food. Veal parmigiana was overcooked and salty. Lasagna was a bit better, but still too salty.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service
Only putting one star because I couldn’t put zero stars. When we placed our order the restaurant was basically empty and we waited one hour for our food with no word from our waitress, who had disappeared. When we finally got our food, the chicken on one dish was raw inside and the risotto was still crunchy. Worst meal experience of my life.
Love it
We called to ask if they could sit a table of 6 the guy that answered said yes no problem then hung up on us. We arrived the door was unlocked and the whole place reeked of booze and there was a pizza and wings in the table with bites taken out of it and nobody in the restaurant at all we tried calling again and everything no answer and nobody to be found. Weirdest experience ever.
Great service Good atmosphere Love the Lasagna and pizz
My family and I love ordering from here it’s always been very delicious lots of flavour the staff are very nice &friendly !!
Went here for the first time ever since reopening Due to covid. Very disappointed with the fact that the food took us an hour to arrive while sitting in the heat with only 2 other tables on the patio. Workers failed to wear any PPE’s when taking orders and serving food. No sanitizer provided when seating or after payment on debit machine. Not impressed that there is no steps In place to take any precaution.
Great meal,super clean and fast service,will win the locals!
The gnocchi is amazing. Fantastic food and service.
Best I have had in years.
Fathers Day Dinner was amazing at San Vito’s! Awesome food and great service. .
My husband and I went tonight for our anniversary dinner. Patio service only, but they have a large tent so they stayed open even through the rain! We have the bruschetta appetizer, Dario's chicken and salmon, everything was delicious. We topped it off with Moose's Pistachio Pie for dessert, and it was to die for! Our server, Maddison, was very friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back!
Great food excellent service beautiful decor
Good food .. good people .. nice place
Delicious food and great atmosphere for a reasonable price! This is our favourite Italian restaurant!
Absolutely horrible customer service. Called weeks before to book reservation. Traveled about 100 miles to be informed a couple of hours before the reservation time that it was arbitrarily cancelled even though we were already in the area. Learned they were not abiding by Covid19 guidelines. Employed servers who would not wear face coverings and management refused to have them comply for customer safety. Also learned they had tables adjacent to pedestrian street traffic not two meters away. Don't go there! Tell locals in Crystal Beach to stay away and safeguard their health.
Excellent pizza, pasta, and service!
Good food..a bit pricey for Italian
Delish options and great service! GF options available as well!!!
Arrived just before 7pm on a Tuesday August 10th. We were promptly seated. The restaurant did not seem busy. We were seated in the tent. Which was dirty and covered in spiders and webs. Then the waiting began. Waited 10 minutes for the waitress to the our drink order. 10 more minutes to get the drinks. The another 20 Minutes before we were able to order. Our waitress had disappeared. Basic table bread arrived an hour after we were seated. An hour after ordering our food I went to complain, inside the restaurant. No manager was around so I let the bartender know. When I got back to my table the waitress had delivered 2 food items. She blamed the kitchen. And she said there was no manager working. So she would pay for our entrées. We voiced our dissatisfaction as all other tables that arrived when we did were served. The waitress clearly forgot about our table. Never came around for a drink refill or to apologize for the wait. We said we wanted to leave and to box up the food. 30 more minutes before we could leave. The waitress could not even bring our food to us. The hostess did. We promptly left and ate out take out at home. Don't bother coming here. The food is basic Italian fair and the restaurant seems to be poorly managed.
September 11, had an excellent meal, the special and the soup special. Beer was cold and Italian, service was excellent and thoughtful, I definitely be going back. back
I am disgusted. I feel ripped off and taken advantage of. While we normally order from Bella's, in an effort to support local, we decided to spread things around a bit so I ordered 2 Veal Parmesan from San Vito's. First of all their menu plainly states $20.00 each which (including tax) should have come to $45.20 plus whatever tip I decide to give for takeout. However, I was charged almost $55.00 so they obviously added a generous tip for themselves. On top of it, while the spaghetti was fine, the veal was absolutely inedible. It was so thin you could have used it to shave your legs and it was like eating a dried up old rag covered in tomato sauce. Needless to say, back to Bella's I go. I never called San Vito's to complain because even if they offered me dinners at no charge I wouldn't eat them anyway.
Great service and the food was excellent. My new go to place when in Crystal beach. 5 stars all the way!
Amazing! Food is superb and fresh. Dealt with Mara and her customer service is on point! Ordered both dining in with a group of 7 including my husband Alex, and take out and both times the food was so fresh and tasty! The best penne a la vodka rose sauce! You can tell that this place has integrity. Very nice to see for a change. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you Mara for the great experience!
